Two hours passed, and hundreds of snake monsters were cleared out. Lan Xiangyuan also retrieved a lot of recipes, snake gall ingredients, and the most common equipment from the snake monster gems.

At first, no one thought anything of it, but the more time went on, the more surprised they became.

The last time they came to clear the instance, although they didn't reach the end, they cleared at least half of the dense forest.

Last time I only caught half of it, and I didn't get this much.

They've only made it to one-sixth of the way!

Gradually, people began to realize that Lan Xiangyuan seemed to be acting strangely.

Many people curiously looked at Lan Xiangyuan, wondering if she had any items that could increase the drop rate.

In response, Lan Xiangyuan and Nie Wan could only exchange a wry smile.

It would be great if there really were some kind of prop.

But there was nothing; it was all just fleeting luck.

When it comes to luck, there's always the fear that it might disappear in the next moment.

Nie Wan patted Lan Xiangyuan on the shoulder, offering silent words of comfort before urging everyone to continue.

Soon, the group cleared out a particularly thick aerial root.

This aerial root is not only as thick as two people can hug, but there are also faint water ripples winding on the trunk.

Appeared!

Nie Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said to everyone, "Focus fire on this tree root and clear it away."

"Clean it up?"

Nie Wan nodded: "Last time I entered this dungeon, I accidentally attacked this kind of aerial root with patterns, and it actually caused a health bar and damage. It seems to be a kind of monster. But because it had too much health, and I had other things to do at the time, time was short, and the situation was dangerous, I didn't finish it off. I didn't expect to run into it again now, so its appearance is not a coincidence. Otherwise, I'll try attacking it again and see what happens after I kill it."

By this time, everyone was completely obedient to her. Upon hearing her words, they immediately formed a formation and took turns attacking the air-generated root.

Sure enough, as soon as the attack landed, a damage number popped up on the Qi Root, along with a long health bar with an eight followed by seven zeros.

The team members were greatly surprised and put in even more effort, trying to make the seemingly bottomless health bar drop by even a little bit.

Suddenly, Ah Pupu sensed something was wrong, looked back, and quickly warned everyone, "A snake monster is coming!"

Nie Wan had anticipated this scene and commanded, "Group one, attack this root; group two, resist the snake monster! Langya Yue!"

Langya Yue agreed and, without needing Nie Wan's instructions, had already set up a large shield, standing in front of the second group. A battle song was sung to attract the aggro of the snakes.

The situation was brought under control in a short time.

One group kills monsters, while the other group attacks Qi Shenggen.

Seeing that the Qi Shenggen wasn't attacking at all, Xiang Si Fu Yaoqin, one of the healers in Group 1, felt like she was being forced to slack off, so she asked Nie Wan, "How about I go to Group 2 to help out and heal Langya Yue?"

"No, I always felt that this aerial root wouldn't be that simple. You'll definitely be useful in some way. Keep an eye on everyone's condition..."

Nie Wan paused at this point, seemingly squinting at something.

Then, she immediately said to Xiangsi Fu Yaoqin, "Heal Zhang Chongjiu!"

Xiangsi Fu Yaoqin quickly did as instructed.

A beam of white light from a healing spell descended, and simultaneously, green healing numbers and red damage numbers appeared above Zhang Chongjiu's head.

+3455

-4966

The two numbers canceled each other out, leaving Zhang Chongjiu's health bar still at one-fifth empty.

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Chongjiu had no idea when he had been injured. It was only after receiving this treatment that he realized the problem and was greatly startled.

Nie Wan said, "I just used an item to check your current status and found that Zhang Chongjiu, you have entered a debuff called 'Miasma Troubles'. That may be the reason you lost health. You all need to pay attention to whether you have this debuff. Even if you don't have this, if you have other statuses, you should let me know."

The group members readily agreed.

Nie Wan then turned to look at the second group outside, which was blocking the snake monster from invading.

In her past life, she had also spent a long time exploring this Ghost Serpent Forest dungeon, and she was the one who discovered the secret of the Qi-generating Roots before everyone else.

Before that, everyone thought that the final boss of the Serpent Forest was the snake woman Janna.

However, after Nie Wan accidentally discovered the secret of Qi Shenggen, she deliberately sought out Qi Shenggen to attack, and eventually uncovered a hidden boss.

It is this very Dark Serpent Forest itself!

A thousand-year-old ghost-faced tree spirit that cultivates by relying on the essence offered by a snake woman.

Nie Wan obtained a key quest item by first killing the thousand-year-old Ghost Face Tree Spirit. After completing a long quest chain, she changed her job to become the Taiyin Star Lord.

Therefore, she knows every detail in this instance.

This includes the specific health of the aerial root and the debuff counterattack damage it inflicts on the player.

This also includes attacks on the main body of the ghost tree spirit, which increase in number and eventually evolve into a tidal wave of snakes.

Currently, Group Two has noticed the continuous stream of snakes.

Just now, when Nie Wan led everyone to clear the snake swarm, she instructed Lan Xiangyuan, who was in charge of clearing mines, to consciously gather the monsters together.

Lan Xiangyuan didn't do very well at first, but after carefully reviewing Nie Wan's previous feints and with Nie Wan's meticulous guidance, she gradually got the hang of it and attracted the snake monsters wave after wave.

The team members trained for half an hour under the intensity of 8-20 basilisks, and their efficiency and tension were much higher than when they first entered the dungeon.

Even so, they still felt immense pressure in the face of the ever-growing snake population.

Lili Yuan Shangpu couldn't help but secretly ask Nie Wan, "Commander, the number of these snake monsters seems a bit off."

Nie Wan calmly replied, "Something's not right. Maybe some kind of special mechanism has been triggered. It's okay, just keep fighting. Let me know when you're about to give up, and I'll send a group of people to help."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and sprinkled the poison powder onto the aerial roots.

The poison powder she sprinkled this time was not blood-melting poison powder, but a medicinal powder she brought back from Yaksha Village, which had a miraculous effect on ghost-type monsters.

Wansha virus powder.

Reduces the target's health by 80 per second for 20 minutes.

The poison powder landed on her and began to take effect. At the same time, Nie Wan also noticed a subtle sticky feeling on her body.

We're about to enter a debuff state.

Nie Wan knew that this miasma-covered debuff would subtly infect the player, forming a purple poison icon in the player's status bar.

Initially, it is a nearly transparent light purple. This mark will gradually deepen, and when it becomes a deep black, it will unleash a damage powerful enough to instantly kill a player.

However, this debuff is quite tricky. Interrupting it when it's light purple is useless; you can only interrupt its continued accumulation with healing when it turns completely purple.
